The woolly lice / mealybugs got the best of me. Despite chemical treatment, I decided to let the 10 year old Coffea arabica go. The bugs proved to be more resistant that anticipated and the plant will just never recover its former glory.
Spent the weekend repotting and organizing indoor plants.
That powdered onion and powdered garlic has almost the same effect as the real thing. Duh. Not a recipe for smart eating.

First, it took months for it to reach Sweden and then my local cinema decided not to open the feature as planned but rather wait a couple of weeks. After that you just don’t pay for a movie. You download it. Thankfully Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was released as a dvd rip a few [...]
Actually took a frivolous visit to the cinema last week and saw The Island. Kind of worked for me.
